1. Kathy L.

“I can’t say enough about Kathy and Mike. They took wonderful care of my babies while I was on vacation. Kathy sent updates and pictures daily. I could tell my dogs felt safe and they loved them and her pets. Frankie and Izzie will definitely be back for visits.”


2. Lexie F.


“Lexie is fantastic! She took such good care of our two dogs over Thanksgiving. The indoor and outdoor spaces she has created for the dogs are wonderful, with plenty of room for them to run around and play together. Lexie sent us one little update a day to see how well the dogs were doing and how much fun they were having. She was very thorough during the intake process to ensure the dogs' individual needs were met. We could not be happier with their care and will be back again!”


3. Margie M.


“This was the first time leaving Cher Chee anywhere except a Kennel. Margie made me feel relaxed and Chee Chee took to her right away. We were gone a week and I felt certain she was in good hands. I will definitely use her again.”


4. Nontombe B.

“Nontombe is amazing! She’s sweet and loves on your fur baby as if it’s her own. She communicates and will keep you updated with pictures and videos while you’re away. My Mazi loves her!”


5. Michael P.

“Michael did a great job caring for Boots. He was easy to communicate with and provided frequent updates while boarding him for the few days I was in town. Michael also was flexible and able to watch Boots an additional night when my apartment hunting took longer than expected. I will definitely be contacting Michael for my future dog care needs when I relocate to the area!”


6. Jenny C.

“Fantastic!! First time I used Rover for my pup. I was so nervous having not left my fur child to stay at someone else's home before. Jenny put me at ease & kept me updated on how she was doing. She sent me videos & photos. I don't think my pup missed us at all with how much fun she had staying with Jenny. I will definitely use her again.”


7. Celia S.


“Celia was great with my puppy Max! She agreed to keep him even though he is only 3 months old, still potty training, and likes to chew on everything. She sent many pictures of Max, keeping me informed about all of his activities! I knew he was in good hands and will definitely ask her to keep Max again when I need someone.”


8. Susanne O.

“Susanne and her family were awesome. They took such great care of Carmen our Morkie and shared pictures each day during her week long stay. It is the best care she has ever had outside of our home. They have a lovely home and a wonderful backyard where Carmen was able to hang out. Thank you again!”

14. Alexa L.

“She was great! Always kept us informed of how our pets were doing. Very patient with an apprehensive cat and a yappy dog. One less thing to worry about while we were away.”


15. Zac S.

“Zac was WONDERFUL with Briggs, our 120 lb ALL BOY lab! We were traveling out of the country for 2 weeks and found Zac on Rover….my first time using this site! I was a bit nervous just because Briggs is very high strung and has NO idea how large he is! Zac was brilliant with him….extremely patient (especially with me as I unpacked his Briggs’ bag with his teddy bear and blanket🙄)!!! Zac sent regular updates and pictures. The fact that he trains retrievers and other large dogs was a plus for me. He was always very quick to respond and answered all my silly questions! I will DEFINITELY be using Zac’s services again! Briggs had a GREAT time at “camp”!!!! Thank you Zac for loving on my boy and taking great care of him!!! Lindley”


16. Sally F.

“My two dogs always have a great time with Sally. I don't think Bailey wanted to come home🤪 Sally communicates with me everyday, I know exactly what the beagles are up to. They get a lot of attention as well as indoor and outdoor time. We are lucky to have found Sally!”


17. Shonta R.

“Our fur baby loves his visits with Shonta. Another happy stay! You will not worry about your fur babies when they are with Shonta. I am scheduling his next visit!”
